That was the case on Wednesday as the city received no offers for the purchase and redevelopment of a vacant, tax-title, mixed-use block at 803-807 Liberty St.

“Obviously, there is a little bit of disappointment,” said Tina Quagliato, the city’s deputy director of neighborhood stabilization. “But, I think we will be restructuring the request for proposals, and putting it out again (for bid), and marketing it a little heavier.”

The deadline for proposals was 2 p.m. Wednesday, at the city’s Office of Procurement.

The city set no minimum price for the four-story brick building that contains two commercial spaces on the first floor and apartments on the upper floors. The building was constructed in 1916, and is located near the corner of Carew Street in the Liberty Heights neighborhood.

The property has an assessed value of $441,500, but the city said that any proposals would have been judged on the merits of the redevelopment and the project feasibility, with price being only one factor.

Quagliato said she expects the city will have a stronger marketing campaign and give developers more time to respond.

"We did receive a good amount of advance interest,” Quagliato said. “I feel confident that in an upcoming solicitation, we will receive proposals for redevelopment.”

With the vast majority of properties taken into ownership by the city for non-payment of taxes, there are challenges for redevelopment, Quagliato said.

“It’s a matter of finding the right developer,” she said.

The Office of Procurement, meanwhile, is scheduled to open proposals on Thursday at 2 p.m. for the purchase and redevelopment of a two-building lot at 864 State St.

The tax-foreclosed property is located in the Mason Square area, houses a restaurant and hair salon in separate buildings.
